Meet the Crew

We kicked off our first Roam Fest back in 2017: That’s 14 Festivals Ago!

We knew we wanted to create a place to play bikes and feel like we belonged...and so we intentionally curated an experience based on things we cared about:

  • Hugs not handshakes (aka, you’re here, you’re a Roamie!)

  • Fun always being first

  • And paying attention to the outliers who maybe need events like Roam Fest the most

Our small but mighty crew has changed over the years (our forever gratitude to every Roamie who's contributed to making Roam what it is today) and we've grown into a world-class events team with eleven year-round staff (who put in over 5,000 hours of planning for a single festival), forty+ event staff, and over 100 absolutely magical volunteers.
